5ft 4inchers, what is your weighloss goal?

needamulligan

I have never been able to get below 140. So, I will shoot for that as it is also the higher end of a healthy weight range and see what happens. Such a long way to go!

I am 5'4 and currently weigh 166. I started out at 175. I was 103 in HS and have no desire to weight this again. I would however like to at least get to 120-125. Before when I weighed that I was comfortable and smal, but not toned or in shape, so I'm sure if I could get to that wt, and do it healthily and tone, I would be completely happy w/ the way I look. I just know where I'm at now AIN'T working!!!!!

I am 5'4" and started dieting at 172 lbs. I am now at 165 lbs. I had lost 10 lbs within 2 months but fell off track at the gym and gained 3 back :-(

My goal is 130 lbs. that is when I looked and felt my best. Working out and changing my diet was a HUGE ordeal for me. I used to eat whatever I wanted and never gained weight, until I hit my early 40's.

I recently found out I had level 2 hypertension, which was the main reason I needed to get on track with diet and exercise. I LOVE spin classes and the elliptical. It is easy for me to go to a 5:30 am class and burn alot of calories very quickly!

I'm going for between 150lbs and 154lbs (10.5st to 11st) because when I was at that weight it absolutely suited me and I was at my happiest. I say go for whatever makes you comfortable.

I just joined this site today, so HI everyone! I am also 5'4 and weight 150 lbs. My goal weight is 125 lbs...

crewfan20

I am 37 years old and 5'3.5". I started out at 177 lbs and in 8 weeks I am down to 159.6 lbs. My goal weight is 125 lbs, the weight I was in college. I was never super skinny. I would say I had an athletic build.

I'm 5'4 1/2" - Pre-baby weight was 135. Pre-marriage weight was 120. CW: 162. I'm trying to get down to the 140s right now. If I get down to 130 with muscles and maintain then I will be happy. Aside from the numbers, I just want to be back where my thighs stop rubbing together and I feel fit again.

I'm just under 5'5, I started at 200 and I'm at 125, my goal is 117 but I have the frame of a 13 year old girl lol

gypsybree

I'm 310 5'4.5"
I'm goaling at 180. I'll see how it is when I get there if I should be less.

CarleyLovesPets

I am quite large framed,
I have the baby making hips, broad shoulders, thick wrists, yadadada.

So I am thinking around 140 - 150.
No lower then 130 though.

I'm personally not going to stop exercising when I hit goal, so I may go lower then my goal.
We'll see when I get there - I've got a long way.

135 for me.

Hi there! I am 5'3" and my starting weight was 154. I am down to 143 with an eventual goal of 130-135.

i am 5'3.75 and my goal is to maintain around 130...i have a medium frame and i carry my weight relatively well...i am 132.5 today and if i stayed put here for a while but was more toned i would be a happy girl

judyz1

I'm 5' 4", started at 156....stuck at 136....want to hit goal of 125 before the holidays!!!

karenfaber

I started at 147 and now I'm at 115. Original goal was 125-130 because I didn't know if I could do it. Changed goal to 115-120 and hit that a couple months ago. Now maintaining.

Best part about the weight loss is that I'm a runner, and I'm A LOT faster with 32 less pounds to lug around.
Worst part is finding clothes that fit. Vanity sizing is out of control.

ctgirlscout

Right now my ultimate goal is 135.

andeehrdz

Hi, I'm 5'4, currently 134, and my goal weight is 125. I don't mind the curves, I just don't want to be soft, if that makes any sense? haha

kfitzpa

I'm 5'4'' and trying for 120... I'm currently 129

fingerscrossed75

Count me in at 5'4" too!

I started out at 255, and am currently working to get to 200. Ultimately, I'd like to end up at 150-160, which would keep me nice and curvy.

_danjo_

Here too! I got sick of myself at 176 (June 2010) and have been as low as 140 (October 2011). Now back at about 152 but hoping for 125-130. Not sure how the fat loss/muscle gain equation will affect the number on the scale--I'm more concerned with what I see in the mirror and how my clothes fit. Which right now is not to my liking.

I am 5' 4" (well 5' 4" and half but no need to be too technical!). My starting weight was 167.8lbs and I am currently aiming for 145lb, then I will reevaluate. I have always had a "dense" body type and even at 150 I was in a size 6. I may revise my goal weight once I get to 145lb but for now 22.8 lbs to lose was daunting enough so that's where I'm starting.

Also, I am aiming for a weight loss of 1lb per week. I am doing this so that I have VERY achievable goals each week and won't get discouraged if I "only" lose a pound in a week.

Good luck!

ma_peeps

I am right there with you--5:'4" and 143. I'm hoping to get to 125 eventually. I got down to 109 when I went through a divorce a few years back, but I think I would be happy at 125 now. I would love to lose 2 to 3 pounds a week, but not sure if I can do it.

xoyasminxo

I'm at 112 right now and am trying to gain muscle weight.

jc501

I think it all depends on how you are built/shaped. I am very curvy and weigh 210lbs! Although my Dr. wants me to get down to 170lbs, I would feel more comfortable between 145 - 155. However, it all depends on how I look and feel once I get closer to my goal.

tamelab

I am roughly 5'4" and my current goal weight is 150. I am at 170 now and started MFP back at 194. I will get to 150 and see how I look and feel.

SarahAquino84

I was the same way. I went from 199 to 145 and then stayed between 145-155 for about a year.
I recently went to a weight loss doctor and he had me reduce my carb intake and run intervals instead of the normal 3 mile run I did every day. I've lost 9.5 pounds in the past week and half so it seems to be working!
Good luck!

patiblue

I am 5'4 and just reached one of my weight loss goals. I started in the 190's earlier this year and am now 150. I feel incredible. My ultimate goal would be 130 for a solid and healthy BMI, but for right now my short term goal is to reach 145 to have a "healthy" BMI at < 25 and this goal is right around the corner.

punkrockprincess23

I have been wondering about the right weightloss goal for me. I am a petite and 143 pounds right now. I have looked through MFP for people like me and i have noticed that, the threads for short people are generally full of 5 feeters and below. So what about success stories from 5ft 4inchers and the ideal weight for us?

i am also 5ft 4,and i weigh 145.so we are very close. i plan on going back to 115 what i was before i got pregnant.

Skittl3z123

I'm about 5'4 or 5'5 and my goal weight is like 120 lbs. I started at 153 in the end of June 2012 and am now at 133.
